Graham: I'll move to subpoena wiretap info if Comey doesn't respond today © Greg Nash

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Wednesday that he'll move to subpoena any documents tied to President Trump's claim that he was wiretapped during the campaign if he doesn't hear back from FBI Director James Comey later in the day. "He hasn't answered that letter. If he doesn't answer it today, I'm going to go to the chairman of the [Judiciary] Committee, Sen. [Chuck] Grassley [R-Iowa], and seek his support to subpoena," Graham said during a Fox News radio interview.

Graham and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) sent a letter to Comey and Dana Boente, the acting deputy attorney general, last week asking for any warrant application or court documents tied to potential legal wiretapping of the Trump campaign, Trump or Trump Tower.

Graham separately told reporters that he hadn't gotten any indication that he would hear back from the FBI by Wednesday.

Why is Linda pushing so hard for this?

Answer: Because he believes Trump is lying. He wants to catch Trump in a lie about the wiretapping. And so he’s hard up for evidence he thinks doesn’t exist.

Won’t he and his boyfriend Johnnie Mac be surprised when there is a “there” there.

I think if I were Linda, I wouldn't ‘threaten’ anyone especially since Linda wears “Pink laced panties”...don't think Linda would want to see them go viral...

"Why is Linda pushing so hard for this?"

I'll give you another reason. He wants to hand it over to his butt-buddies at the DNC so they know what they are up against and can defend themselves by s-l-o-w-l-y leaking fake news about it.

Flimsey Grahamnesty knows he’s asking the wrong agency.
The FBI did not do the surveillance, the CIA did.

Kabuki theater. Graham and McCain are protectors of the deep state intelligence community.

Sources told Judge Napolitano that Obama admin asked British GHCQ for the Trump communications. The head of GHCQ resigned immediately after Trump took office.

So there would be no court documents or warrant applications evidencing the Brits giving these intercepts to Obama.

Answer: Because he believes Trump is lying.


That doesn’t make sense. Everytime he pushes for more answers faster, he is pushing the Trump Train.

For whatever reason, he is doing the right thing here. With his pushing, it looks more and more like Comey is prevaricating.

Look how about they ask the New York Times about the story they published January 20th saying Trump’s Associates were being wiretapped

Why do they keep ignoring the stories in the paper either the papers were lying or the people doing the wire tapping are lying

Again I want the Senators to ask

Bingo. Trump had Graham to the WH for lunch two weeks ago, and it seemed to thaw things a bit (for now). I think Graham is pushing to find out what did happen at Trump Tower - and why.

Do I fully trust Graham? Heck no - but I agree he seems to have the right motives here. Also, since he’s going thru Grassley, who has been supportive of DJT

Pearl Clutcher GOPe Karl Rove was just on saying there’s “no evidence” that Trump Tower was wiretapped and that President Trump shouldn’t make those “unsubstantiated allegations”

The Attorney-General has to sign off on every FISA warrant application.

Right after Trump made his wiretap claim, Obama, Clapper and Comey were quick to announce they did not order it. Loretta Lynch said nothing.

Lynch hs been very quiet on Wiretapgate, and the drive-by’s haven’t exactly been hounding her for answers.
